Tbilisi Mayor announces weekly public meetings to ‘boost citizen engagement’

Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has announced that, starting 12 November, he and members of his team will hold weekly meetings with residents at City Hall every Wednesday from 16:00 to 18:00. The initiative, he claimed, aims to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to voice their concerns directly.

In a video address shared on social media on Monday, Kaladze said the meetings would allow for “face-to-face communication” so that “no citizen is left without the chance to make their voice heard.”

The mayor also reflected on the responsibility that comes with securing a third term in office. The Tbilisi City Assembly recently confirmed the new composition of the city government.

“It is a very emotional day for me because I fully understand the responsibility that comes with earning the trust and support of Tbilisi residents for a third term,” Kaladze said. He added that the mandate allowed his administration to continue ongoing reforms and fulfill pre-election promises aimed at further developing the capital.

Kaladze thanked voters for their “continued support” and pledged that citizens’ voices would translate into practical action.

“You have my word that your voice will turn into concrete work,” he said. “We will not tire of serving you. We are ready to work tirelessly for our city.”

The mayor emphasized that his engagement with citizens will remain a priority, noting his frequent visits to neighborhoods and project sites alongside members of his administration, as well as his active communication with residents on social media.

“We will do everything to make our city even more beautiful and better organized,” Kaladze said.
